Yoni Labyrinth Maker

Photo by Dawn "Raven" Kline
Dawn writes, of this gorgeous sharing: "After the Apple Tree Morris Sun Up my family and I drove out to the coast to create a Labyrinth to walk for World Labyrinth Day . . . I thought we would dart home before heading out so I had left the piece of driftwood I use to make sand labyrinths at home . . . fortunately the ocean offered up a replacement for the day . . . complete with a Yoni image and all! Here is the piece of driftwood I used to make the Beltane labyrinth . . . you can just make out the fuzzy edges of the labyrinth behind in the sand."

Shelia Na Gig

I share this today in honor of Her creator, Lydia Ruyle, whom I had the privilege to meet at the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology Conference this past week. We worked and shared and learned surrounded by the watchful eyes of Lydia's fantastic banners, depicting Goddesses from around the world.  Her work is inspired, and inspiring, and quite DIVINE! Please visit her site for more amazing Goddess imagery and to learn more about this incredible woman!

Goddess of the North

Goddess of the North
Landscape Sculpture in progress in Northumberland, UK

For more information about this incredible undertaking, which will be created from 1.5 million tons of earth, and take two years to complete, please read this article from BBC news, which includes a video of artist Charles Jencks, who designed the sculpture, explaining why this image is non-offensive. While it is amazing  that this Landscape Goddess is being created at all, we are presented with yet another reiteration of the view that women's bodies are something that need to be censored, rather than being something to celebrate.

Butterfly Pea

 
Clitoria ternatea

As suggested by the ancient Doctrine of Signatures, the butterfly pea was used medicinally for women's health concerns - addressing infertility, dysmenorrhea, and often used as an aphrodisiac.

Waters of the Red Spring



"Like the Grail, once found and lifted to the lips of the Fisher King, a sip of her healing waters returns vitality to the Wasteland. Indeed, this is very much the energy surrounding the Blood Spring. The high iron content of the water stains red every fountain, basin and sluice in the gardens, and its obvious menstrual connection serves to further the message: we must shed the old to make way for the new – from death comes new life. For the waters of Chalice Well have never been known to fail; they have sustained Glastonbury through various droughts over the centuries. These icy waters have been revered for their healing properties and have been the destination of pilgrims for hundreds of years." - From The Chalice and the Grail by Jhenah Telyndru, published in the Fall 2009 issue of Circle Magazine.
